Greater Dallas Choral Society

The Greater Dallas Choral Society for children and youth (GDCS) was founded in 2022. Under the leadership of Artistic Director and founder Kimberley Ahrens, GDCS is dedicated to giving children and youth an experience in choral artistry in a group that reflects the ethnic and economic diversity of greater Dallas. Currently in their second season, GDCS serves over 275 singers in grades four through twelve. Recently named “the official children’s chorus of The Dallas Opera,” GDCS choruses have been invited to perform at the 2025 National American Choral Directors Association Convention. GDCS boasts five choruses, including three treble choruses for children in grades four through eight, a high school treble chorus, and a high school mixed chorus.
